Political Piffle

Words really can’t describe how much I dislike this man and everything he stands for.

Here he is today in the news trying polish his turd like appearance by going to meet the oil companies in efforts to find a ‘global solution’ to soaring oil prices.

I believe that like I believed Bin Laden when he phoned me to say ‘I’m off for a shave’

What’s he really doing?

1) Trying to salvage his increasingly tarred reputation in an attempt to raise public favour.

2) Bring the prices of fuel down enough so that he can slap on the 2p tax he’s been itching to levy. Because tax, we love it and clearly we don’t pay enough.

3) No really he wants to lower oil prices so that we can all afford to run cars – because how the hell is he going to continue to hike the price of road tax, emissions tax, driving tax, your-car-is-painted-black tax if none of us can afford to run cars?

4) And if there are no vehicles on the roads what purpose are the 48 billion speed cameras going to serve?

This whole shower of shit goes way beyond petrol.. what about house prices?, what about the illegal immigrants?, what about my freedom and my privacy?, what about the cost of food? – because while everyone has been concerned about the cost of running their cars the price of a weekly shop has rocketed nice and quietly…

You know, that 4×4 I own is currently sat on the driveway being used about as much as every exercise video I bought in the 90’s not because I can’t afford to run it but because I plainly refuse to keep funding the governments pocket for the privilege of driving a car I like.

It’s a nice plan that I have a little theory about – a theory which, if my little brother reads this will cause him to wrap me in sheets of the Daily Mail newspaper and send me down to the unemployment office to hand out soup to those poor unfortunates who are unable to find work, because the theory goes like this.

Whats the point in offshoring large corporations? It’s cheap.. Premises are cheap abroad and so is labour.

Why pay well educated citizens of the UK good money and benefits to work for you when ‘Kevin Smith’ aka ‘Sanjit Singh’ will do the job for a fraction of the cost in India?

Those marvelous Polish workers over here? They turn up on the dot at 7am every morning, they don’t sit in the van reading The Sun and only start work after 5 cups of tea. No, they crack on and get the job done well in half the time for a fraction of the cost.

I’ve never understood why when I was left as a single mother at the age of 27, I got very little help from our government. I got some benefits but I nearly had to hand over both kidneys to get them and even then they still only gave me enough so that it would take the edge of my situation yet still leave me unable to pay bills each month. It made me rather cross when I was filling out one of these forms the length of my leg and found in the accompanying brochure that if I really was scum I could get my traveling and lunch costs for going to visit a family member in prison reimbursed BY THE GOVERNMENT.

This government is happy to promote scum. They seem to love to pay for the real down and outs who know how to play the system, I know this now because I realise that my biggest downfall when I needed benefits as a single mum was that I was working. I had morals and ethics.

So dear Gordon Brown and your wonderful Labour party, and you, Tony Blair, founding member of ONE BIG COCK UP – you continue to turn the screw on all the worthwhile people in this country, the ones who work hard, don’t scam benefits, pay their taxes and watch us all move abroad. And then you continue to let in every immigrant – legally or illegally because really its academic to you isn’t it. And then you’ll have the nice big cheap society you’ve been wanting. They’ll work cheaply for you, they won’t need benefits because they didn’t have them where they came from anyway and when you’re tired of them you can run them through a set of gas chambers to dispose of them.

PS: Before you do… I have lots of windows I’m monopolising on in my house – shouldn’t I be paying some TAX on them?

Okay, I understand how you feel about Gordon Brown, but do you have to use the word retarded? Why further demean and hurt people with special needs who can’t defend themselves.
It probably doesn’t dawn on people how hurtful it can be until you have a special needs kid or cousin, or you’re a soldier returning from Iraq with a brain injury. I think people who use the word retarded just don’t know any better. But now you do.
Thanks for listening.

You’re right, in slang or derogatory terms I would have been being offensive. However I titled the post, ‘Politically Retarded’ before I finished writing it because it pointed at my limited knowledge of politics.. this changed a bit during writing but I left it because I felt it pertained to our Politically Retarded situation in the UK.

I don’t refer to people with special needs as retards or retarded and I don’t cringe when I use the terms fire retardant or retarded growth so I don’t associate it as an offensive word. If I was calling Gordon a retard then I could see your problem.
